Equalities

Public bodies, including local-authority-maintained schools, are covered by the public sector equality duty in the Equality Act 2010.

As part of our duties we publish:

an Equalities Information profile of our school based upon the protected characteristics of the Equality Act 2010 – this is updated and published every year
our school’s Equality Objectives – these are reviewed annually and updated at least once every 4 years
for further information please view or download our Equalities Policy and Equalities Information and Objectives Policy in the School Policies section of our website.

For 2025 - 2026 our current Equality Objectives are:

To improve staffs’ subject knowledge of different religions, faiths and cultures, that are prevalent within the local community and further afield to strengthen the teaching of fundamental British Values.
To ensure that there is equality in who/what is studied in our curriculum; with stereotypes actively challenge through positive representation
To promote cultural development and understanding through a rich range of experiences both in and beyond the school
To ensure all pupils, regardless of gender, ethnicity disability, religious beliefs/faith tradition, age or any other of the protected characteristics achieve the highest possible standards in their learning and make strong progress relative to their starting points
To improve outcomes for disadvantaged pupils so that they are better than NA for this group for EXS and GDS/HS by the time pupils leave school.
To promote spiritual, moral, social and cultural development through all appropriate curricular opportunities, with particular reference to issues of equality and diversity
